Announcing the 12th Australasian Cystic Fibrosis Conference 2017

Will be hosted in Melbourne, from Saturday 5th to Tuesday 8th August 2017

The conference is Australasia's largest event dedicated to cystic fibrosis (CF) and will bring together around 200 lay people and over 350 medical, allied health and nursing delegates plus CF researchers from across the region and around the world.

Over the four days lay and medical sessions will be held, illuminating the very latest CF research and innovation in treatment and care. As Chair of the 2017 ACFC Associate Professor Sarath Ranganathan, Director of Respiratory Medicine, Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, has brought together a committee of CF specialists from a variety of backgrounds. They are planning a valuable and vibrant program that celebrates both Australasian and international breakthroughs, innovative treatments and research.

The CEO of CFV, Karin Knoester will chair the Lay Committee and again the opportunities for education, peer support and consumer engagement will be compelling sessions with highly valuable outcomes.

We hope you will be able to join us in Melbourne in August 2017 for what promises to be a highly informative and stimulating event for our CF community, clinicians, allied health practitioners, nurses and researchers.

We are overwhelmed with the positive feedback we received from the 2016 11th Australasian Cystic Fibrosis Conference in August. A wealth of information was shared by health professionals from Australia and around the world. Cystic Fibrosis Australia Ambassador, Nathan Charles opened the conference with a moving speech inspiring everyone to band together and continue to raise awareness awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

2015 saw us have the ability to webcast several of the sessions. Below are the links to some of the sessions, with more being uploaded over the next few months as permissions become available and papers become published.
